Bingo! Good eye!

Sorry but that appears to be a car bridge, this is a railway bridge. This was taken with my Nikon D800e and Nikon 28-300VR lens and then processed with Photomatix5.

Hint its on my way to or from another match.....

The police have a warrant out for your arrest - you stole that!

I agree most people should not fly quads over active fields, nor over active stands. These things do fail and drop out of the sky and the vast majority of users cannot handle them in manual mode. Speaking of manual mode, isn't that something used by photographers that are not able to master Aperture or Shutter speed mode JUST KIDDING! Sandra hit the nail on the head with the soccer moms that have cameras costing four figures that use them as point and shoot toys. I laugh at them shooting in full auto (not even program) mode and then asking me why they can't get photos that look like mine. Sort of like the novice shooter buying a $4,000 race gun and wondering why he still can't hit a Q target at 15 yards.

Well I would bet there are lots of pictures of members of your family on the internet, just they were taken by others. The difference between 30 minutes and an hour is huge in quad technology. It's like comparing a bike to a motorcycle, yea they both have two wheels but that is all they have in common. As for buzzing noise, well the weed wackier behind the stands makes the same noise. Since these birds typically have many lights on them you can actually see them further at night. That said there are also people with illegal guns that carry them in public. That said most quad owners are good people that will cause no harm just like most gun owners. I hope you aren't trying to take away more rights from us good drone owners just because there are some bad people.

Yup, a 600mm lens is large and expensive, but only if it is a prime not a zoom. I've got a fairly cheap 150-500mm lens (well cheap by lens standards).

Exactly my point, you can get much more detail up close with a hidden camera than you will with current quad technology. A real pervert could walk into locker rooms, bathrooms, changing rooms, etc... with a tiny hidden camera on their person and no one would ever know a picture had been taken. At least with a Quad it is big noisy and you know what is going on.

Well before he scans his D/L just have him put someone else's picture over his, problem solved.

Now you are changing the story, you said it was up for an hour. Anyway, so what if they are taking pictures from 200'? You are concerned about this only because you saw it, if someone wanted to be nefarious there are cameras so small that you would never even know someone was taking pictures. There are cameras that look like shirt buttons that are worn and you cannot detect. What would you need to call police for a quad with no visible operator? What is it that you are actually worried about? Actually the operator would be visible as there are FAA rules that the operator must be in visual range of the craft, and most of these things have a very limited range. I just find it very funny the parents that are so concerned about photos of their kids yet use their cellphones with geotagging to take pictures of their little ones and have them go right up to the cloud or social media. Many of these people take pictures in their kids' rooms and post them providing a direct trail for a pedophile.

Don't know about delays. I placed a second order for the free shipping and it was originally scheduled to come on Monday 10/6 but I just got an email from UPS that it will be delivered today (10/3).

Wow I have never heard of one that can stay aloft for an hour. It's funny how people get paranoid about these but don't even give it a second thought when someone has a cell phone out taking pictures. Why do you think that might be?

Johnny I was just funning with ya, I understand your issue.

Ok, should I keep quiet about the ones that can actually "see" Through walls?

Just because you are paranoid does not mean people aren't out to get you. If some one wants to spy on you and take pictures you would not know it. For all you know there are already many tiny hidden cameras in your house.

Quads are very loud, they don't spy on you like that. You do know I can park my car I front of your house with a big lens and take all the pictures I want. You can't shoot a drone unless it is armed and you are in Direct fear of your life. Otherwise this is NJ and you have a duty to retreat.

I firmly believe that anyone that shoots down a drone should lose their guns and should get free room and board and medical insurance provided by the state at a nice state owned facility for at least a year. My drone is doing quite well, thanks for everyone's concern

Dave, I ONLY shoot weak hand - and I have two of them!

I think they are drowning in ammo, that is why they keep having free shipping specials and the prices keep dropping. On this last order I got a "shipped" email 30 minutes after placing the order.

They have both new and reman. The reman is made on the same production lines using used brass.

What sort of info are you looking for?

Well I was due to get a shipment from them delivered tomorrow, but it won't be coming then, as it showed up on my doorstep today!

They are just being overly paranoid. UPS just dropped a case of 9mm on my doorstep 20 minutes ago. Not only does it not require a signature, they did not even ring the bell - just drop and run.

It was just another example how government decisions are usually sub-optimal and not the same as what the free market would make. Could they have cut a similar deal with Beretta? - Maybe or maybe not. The point is not the supplier but that they are going with a multi-caliber solution away from 9mm. As we all (or most of us) know, there is no one right answer to which caliber is best - there are just too many variables. The FBI thought 10mm was best but then went to .40cal as they found too many agents just could not control the 10mm. There are plenty of people that shoot .45 that would be better served with 9mm as well. One accurate 9mm hit is far better than two .45 cal shots that miss the target

Never ever ever believe that because the government decides something it is the best solution. It is typically decision by committee with possible kickbacks. Just look at how well the Joint Strike Fighter is working out. Oh, BTW I believe they either just decided or are about to decide to replace the Beretta.
